Title: Daybreak
Early to rise, the shrimpers are setting out for the day and the crabbers are getting the cages ready. Dade masterfully uses color and quick brushwork to create the look and feel of sky and water.
Title: Island Bridge
Exciting color dances in the palms, warm to hot reds and oranges ignite against the cool blues washing in from top to bottom. The boats are moored for the night at a small marina just under the modern bridge between islands.
Title: Island Passage
then the verbiage
Title: Key Lime Shack
This is a more illustrative watercolor showing a different style than most of Dade's work. She has used simple black lines to bring out the detail. The vibrant orange and pink chairs complement the key lime shack that looks out over the harbor.
Title: Reflections
The sailboats' reflections dance in the many shades of blue water, giving this painting a sense of movement. Dade skillfully uses color and fluid line work to capture the energy of water and light.
Title: Sunbathers
Baking in the summer sun on the beach, lounging away inland cares, all of these sentiments emerge in this colorful watercolor. Deep purples, washes of orange and yellow capture the joy of the beach.
Title: Govenor Dudley Mansion
Governor Dudley Mansion, Wilmington, North Carolina. Acrylic wash on canvas painted in 1999.
